Title: fluidised bed drier - for granular matl, using two-stage process to prevent dried particles being further treated
IPC: F26B3/08
Filed: 1972-08-31
Abstract: Fluidised bed drier for granular material consists of a chamber with a grid base, divided into two parts, the first for homogenising and preliminary drying of the material, the second for completing the drying. In the first section the extent of drying is low, and difference in temp. between fluidising medium and particles is fully utilised. Undried material is supplied to the first section, and the second section is divided up by partitions, fixing fluid bed height, and alternately first on one side, and then on the other leaving spaces for the material to pass equal in width to the inter-partition distance. The width of the first compartment for homogenising is twice the inter-partition distance in the second one. To prevent back flow, the grid can be stepped. Finally there are separate take-offs for dry solid and fluidising medium.

Patent GB-2353651-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for measuring magnetic declination using gps
Inventor: NOY KOEN ANTONIE
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: A processor uses signals from at least two GPS receivers and a 3-component accelerometer located on a stable non-magnetic platform to determine the roll, yaw and pitch angles of the platform, thus providing a measurement of geographic north. The processor also uses signals from a 3-component magnetometer on the platform to determine the magnetic north and thence the magnetic declination. A proton magnetometer is used to provide a check on the measurements of the 3-component magnetometer. Additionally, three single component magnetometers provide a measure of the local magnetic field gradient and serve to monitor artificially induced magnetic fields. An alternate embodiment of the invention uses at least three GPS receivers and may dispense with the 3-component of accelerometer to determine geographic north. Temporal local variations of the earth's magnetic field are tracked and used to correct conventional magnetic well surveys. For use in offshore drilling applications where the rig is on a drillship, the platform floats on water away from the drillship and tethered to a buoy. Signals from an inertial motion sensor are used by the processor to correct the observations of the GPS sensors, the magnetometers and the accelerometers for the motion of the platform in water.

Title: A dirty memory for indicating that a block of memory associated with an entry in it has been altered
Inventor: GARNETT PAUL J
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: A dirty memory is operable to store dirty indicators, each dirty indicator being settable to a given value indicative that a page of memory associated therewith has been dirtied. The dirty indicators are stored in groups with each group having associated therewith a validity indicator computed from the dirty indicator values of the group. The control logic is operable on reading a group to compute a validity indicator value based on the dirty indicator values for the group to determine the integrity of the group. The integrity can be confirmed by comparing the computed validity indicator value to a validity indicator value read for the group. Where the value read and the value computed compare equal, it can be assumed that the dirty indicator values of the group are correct. Preferably the validity indicator is a parity indicator. Although parity does not provide for error correction, parity has the advantage that minimal overhead is needed for computation and storage. When a parity error is detected, all of the dirty indicators associated with the parity indicator that has flagged a potential error are treated as suspect. As a consequence, when a parity error is detected for a group of dirty indicators, all of the pages of memory associated with those dirty indicators are treated as being dirtied and they are therefore copied between memories. The dirty indicators and the parity indicator are then reset.
